The first girls slalom of the day produced a tight battle between winner Piper Sage, runner-up Mary Grace Stahla and third place Randi Von Wichman. Only eight-tenths of a second separated the three U-16 skiers.

In the second race, Von Wichman trailed Stahla in the first run but grabbed the win with a fast second run. Hannah Kragt and Madi Maroney took second and third.
